Ever since Jackie Earle Haley was cast as Freddy Krueger over Robert Englund in Platinum Dunes' remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, fans have been clamoring for a clear look at the sweater-ed menace. Up until now, people have tried to brighten the first image of the character, and freeze frame the teaser trailer, but what we have now the best view so far of the character.

Unfortunately, it comes in action figure form. Found on the Figures.com message board, the photo is of the figure made by the National Entertainment Collectibles Association, which makes some of the most detailed figures on the market, and displays Freddy with bloody claws and all. The most noticeable difference is that this version seems to have a lot more skin on his face than Englund's Freddy.You could almost say it looks like someone took a lighter to a Ken doll.

We were told early on that the new Freddy would look more like an actual burn victim, but after seeing this figure, I'm not sure that it was the best way to go. Part of what made Freddy scary was that he looked like he had been to hell and back, but this new one looks more like a guy who has just lived so long that his skin has begun to decompose. For all we know, this may end up not being the greatest representation of the new look, and Haley might look incredible in the new makeup, but until then, this is all we have to go on. Check out the image posted below.
